Once again, a Microsoft update arrives with errors.
This is now the case with one of the March updates.
SpecificallyKB5000802, for those who have installed the latest major version of Windows.
The problem is that this update causes some computers connected to printers to launch a blue screen.
Initially, the Windows 10 March update only brought patches and solutions to various bugs.
Apparently, this problem was difficult to find because it does not affect all printer models.
Therefore, it is easier for it to have gone unnoticed by pre-release testing.
It was only when hundreds of millions of Windows users started using it that the bug was discovered.
In that case the problematic update isKB5000809.
For Windows 10 version 1809, the October 2018 Update, the update isKB5000822.
As for the Windows 10 November Update, which is version 1909, the installation isKB5000808.
All these versions show the blue screen with the message APC_ INDEX _MISMATCH error.
Specifically when trying to print to some printers in certain applications.
However, there are reports from other brands as well.
So it is not known if the error comes from a driver or a feature of the printers.
At the moment, Microsoft states on its website that they are investigating the bug.
However, we do not provide a solution and invite you to wait for further information.
Although officially there is no solution, the user community recommends a common strategy.
Or, in case you dont have it, avoid updating it it.
Waiting for Microsoft to provide a concrete solution to the error in the near future.
